Bad choice of words - meant the after the comeback George.
No matter how hard it may be to pick one's most favorite boxer, I guess George, for me, is the most likable champion. You just had to root for the guy when he came back. Seeing him in the ring, you could see he was aware of his limitations, but with his experience, heart and the fact that he sure didn't lose one bit of his punching power, he was still nobody to joke about.
His fight with Holyfield was quite something, definitely one of the top fights in the history in my book.
Talking about great champions, here's another two:
This is Joe Frazier after he got demolished by Foreman in 73 (starting at 2:00). Quite impressed by the humble, decent and cultured Joe (Hope Bill Cosby didn't pull no stunts on him
)
Ken Norton talking about the first Ali fight, quite touching.
